Plants have evolved several adaptive strategies through physiological changes in response
to herbivore attacks. Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) are synthesized to provide …

Diverse molecular processes regulate the interactions between plants and insect
herbivores. Here, we review genes and proteins that are involved in plant–herbivore …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) modules play key roles in the transduction of
environmental and developmental signals through phosphorylation of downstream signaling …

Leaf-chewing insects are important pests that cause yield loss and reduce seed quality in
soybeans (Glycine max). Breeding soybean varieties that are resistant to leaf-chewing …

Highlights•Upon feeding, herbivores secrete saliva, regurgitant and frass that come in
contact with the plant.•Herbivore's gut symbionts can also be released during feeding and …

The symbiotic interaction between rhizobia and legumes that leads to nodule formation is a
complex chemical conversation involving plant release of nod-gene inducing signal …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are constantly produced in plants, as the metabolic by-
products or as the signaling components in stress responses. High levels of ROS are …

NADPH oxidases (NOXs), mostly known as respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOHs),
are the key producers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants. A lot of literature has …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are evolutionarily conserved modules
among eukaryotic species that range from yeast, plants, flies to mammals. In eukaryotic …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is both a vital source of food and a key model cereal for genomic
research. Insect pests are major factors constraining rice production. Here, we provide an …
